SCDOT: All lanes are back open after a truck fire and hazardous materials incident on I-26 West at MM 72 Sunday.
Traffic Alert: One WB lane of I-26 at Bachman Chapel Road is closed due to construction accident.
Highway Patrol is investigating a wreck that injured multiple people on I-26 East Saturday in Newberry.
“This route is literally the central nervous system of the state of South Carolina for tourism, commerce and commuters,” said Rick Todd, South Carolina Trucking Association president.
As part of SCDOT’s 10-Year-Plan to upgrade South Carolina highways continues, I-26 will be widened from four to six lanes between the Little Mountain and Peak exits, and will be widened from four to eight lanes between the Peak and Irmo exits. The $512 million dollar project will also include seven new overpass bridges and three reconstructed interchanges at the Little Mountain, Chapin, and Peak exits.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the exit ramp from I-77 South to I-26 East is blocked due to an overturned tractor trailer.
South Carolina transportation officials want to hear from the public about a project to widen part of Interstate 26 and improve one of the state’s key interchanges. The state is spending $19 million on preliminary engineering work to widen 22 miles of I-26 in Orangeburg, Berkeley and Dorchester counties.
One of the busiest interstates in South Carolina is getting a fresh layer of pavement starting next month. The Department of Transportation says crews plan to resurface 11 miles of Interstate 26 in North Charleston overnight on weekdays starting in June and running through October.
South Carolina road crews are getting ready for the first of a five-part, $1.7 billion project to untangle where Interstates 20, 26 and 126 meet west of downtown Columbia. The project is being called Carolina Crossroads and is scheduled to last through 2029.
South Carolina Highway Patrol says a vehicle caught on fire around 3 p.m. Tuesday in Calhoun County. Authorities say the fire came after a two car collision.
